No Parking at Gla (the mound) for spotting

Quote from council website:
Paisley Moss is owned by Glasgow Airport Limited. The site was declared a local nature reserve by the former Renfrew District Council in 1993. The reserve is now managed by a partnership between Glasgow Airport, Renfrewshire Council, Scottish Ornithologists’ Club, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Scottish Wildlife Trust.

I have emailed Renfrewshire council for comments. I could not find any email for contacting the Airport – so I will probably have to use snail mail 🙁

I’ll keep you informed if I get anywhere.

I happen to know a senior traffic warden in Renfrewshire Council, so I’ll ask about that. I’d also like to know if they plan to have a warden patrol there or will the airport police be issuing tickets to illegally parked vehicles ?

Either way, it sounds like a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It’s the one part of the airport that really has nothing to do with the airport, BAA or aviation generally. It’s a cul-de-sac with a kiddies nursery school on one side and a nature reserve on the other. I wouldn’t be surprised if NCP had something to do with it actually ?

Seems a real shame that. Ive always wondered about that road, you have to pass a sign saying “Authorised vehicles only”( as you turn off the one way towards the taxi rank etc…) yet, as you say, the access road to Paisley Moss is a public road. I have been moved on by the GLA plod a few times on that road( given that i sit up near the crash gate/ workers yard) but, the plod always point out that i have passed a sign saying “authorised vehicles only”
Let us all know if you get any kind of reply from the airport about this.

Hi Ren Frew

I suppose thats a possibility but there were not too many spaces in the first place and i wouldn’t like to leave my car parked there long term.
I think I’ll try and email the airport manager – see if I can get any info.

Regards Kenny

Sounds like people have been parking there for free and walking to the terminal to catch flights ?
